The Mouse who Lost his Squeak by Jill Moseley (A Writers’ Advice Centre home study student) ‘A story about a mouse who has lost his squeak.’ Max was having a bad day. He’d lost his squeak in the garden and he couldn’t find it ANYWHERE! He must find it before bedtime or he will be in VERY BIG TROUBLE. Max began to get worried. He could feel mouse tears in his eyes.

He looked in the watering can…but he squeak wasn’t there. Ting, ting, ting went his little tears into the watering can. He looked in the hedge…but his squeak wasn’t there. Ping, ping, ping went his little tears onto the hedgehog. “Did I forget my umbrella?” (speech bubble) He looked in the pond…but his squeak wasn’t there. Plop, plop, plop went his little tears into the pond. He looked behind the shed…but his squeak wasn’t there. Ching, ching, ching went his little tears onto the tortoise. “Is it raining?” (speech bubble)

He looked behind the bench…but his squeak wasn’t there. Splat, splat, splat went his little tears…onto the CAT! MEOW! SQUEAK! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEAK! (cat chasing Max all the way home) “I found my squeak!” (speech bubble) “Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!” (speech bubbles from members of Max’s delighted family as he is shown returning home. End page shows Max tucked up in bed.)
